Honey from q Grave.

Mexicans have been selling honey pretty
extensively here for a short time past, SAYS
a dispatch from Los Angeles. 1t was very
nice honey, and many people, after tasting
it, bought small quantities from the
swarthy vendors. A reporter had
the curiosity to investigate and found that
his honey had been made by a nest of
ground bees in a coffin in a grave in the
Catholic cemetery. The sexton was not
aware that the honey sellers had been
mining for sweets in his territory.

save taxes, to govern ourselves, and to se-
cure for the northwest her just voice and
power in the nation.
Res0tred, That in our opinion division
will strengthen our means OF protecting and
conserving the great waterways of the
northwest, which are of vital importance to
transportation in this agricultural region.
RESOLVED, That we protest against the
policy Of the administration in withholding
our cons itutional rights, in sending non-
residents to rule over us and to interpret
our laws; and in perverting and misapply-
ing the land laws for the evident purpose
of checking the growth OF the northwest.

THE HUMOROUS cHIPMUNK.

The chipmunk is not usually consid-
cred creature of great intelligence, yet
it is intelligence, or something akin to
that, which gives him his sense of humor.
Any one who has enjoyed the peaceful
siests of mid-Septsmber day reclining
on the fragrant couch of pine needles
which this austere monarch of the forest
spreads beneath his resinous shade will
recall what thrill of surprise and pleas
ure is felt to be suddenly startled out of a
sleepy reverie by the energetic whirr Of
the bright-eyed, alert little striped fellow
sitting on the branch above your head,
who with perfect composure, eyes you
without winking. Suddenly, as you open
your eyes wider, the impudent fellow be-
gins to crack an acorn he has produced
from somewhere, then nibbles most inn
politely, directly in your sight, then with
out the slightest warning drops the
shell of the nut into your upturned eyes
and then scampers away up into the
highest branches of the tree, whisking
his brush in glee, laughing to himself, no
doubt, at his cleverness. 1t has not yet
been proved by scientists that calcula-
ton is part of the process of thought in
the cbipmuuk's brain but why should he
always place himself in the position to
enjoy his little joke at our expense if he
cannot think out his methodist Boston
Post.

BOOKS FoR THE FIRE.

Young readers, you whose hearts are
hardened, and whose feelings are neither
exhausted nor encrusted by the world,
take from me better rule than any pro-
fessors of criticism will teach you. Would
you know whether the tendency of book
is good or evil, examine in what state of
mind you lay it down. Has it induced
you to suspect that what you have been
accustomed to think unlawful may after
all be innocent, and that that may be
harmless which you have hitherto been
taught 20 think dangerous? Has it tend
ed to make you dissatisfied and impatient
under the control of others; and disposed
you to relax in that elf-government with
out which both the laws of God and man
tell us there can be no virtue, and conse-
quently no happiness? Has it attempt
ed to abste your admiration and rever-
ence for what is great and good, and to
diminish in you the love of your country
and your fellow. creatures? Has it adj
dressed itself to your pride, your vanity,
your selfishness, or any other OF your
evil propensities? Has it defled the i'm
agination with what is loathsome, and
shocked the heart with what is monstrous?
Has it disturbed the sense of right and
wrong which the Creator has implanted
in the human soul? II so, il you have
felt that such were the effects that it was
intended to produce, throw the book into
the fire, whatever name it may bear on
the title-page. Throw it into the fire

Kitty stays by me STILL"
"Her Aunt Emily was saying the other

who was man of few words.
Kitty sat in her little room that night
after reading her New Testament and
saying her prayers, and looked out over
the farmstead. The full moon silvered
the brook and made track of light i'll
the lane. The lilac fragrance drifted up
from the dewy plumes beneath her win
dow. Now and then a bird, dreaming of
day dawn, stirred in the nest that was
hidden somewhere and uttered sleepy
note. 1t came very sweetly into Kitty's
heart that God was keeping his great
world in safety, flowers, birds and peo-
pie. Herself, small as she was, had q
share in the loving care OF the great God.
There wasn't so very much for her to do
that she knew of, but she resolved every
day to do the little she could with all her
might.
